FWP'S pressure plates have been developed using a unique clamp load design to maintain the OE stock pedal feel but also be capable of holding more power than the OE clutch. The aramid friction exhibits 55% less wear than a conventional drive plate friction material.

This material also reduces the effects of fade. Fade is the decline in the clutch system's ability to transmit torque as operating temperatures increases. These features in combination with the previously mentioned micro-structure of spheroidal casting and ER2 technology allows the clutch kit to dissipate heat far more effectively, allowing the clutch to run cooler for longer.

The FW Performance kit has been designed with a higher clamp load enabling the clutch system to transmit 55% more torque over the standard clutch kit and is suitable for every day driving, fast road and track/circuit racing whilst maintaining user-friendly driving experience.
